"I've got three years left on my contract after this year and I'm loving every minute of being at Celtic, from a professional perspective, but also my life up here.

"I've got numbers of years left as a manager - I'm 45 but probably look a lot older. I'm enjoying my position here and it's a huge privilege for me to manage Celtic. It's a huge club, with pressure. That's all I concentrate on."

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has been touted as a potential replacement for Arsene Wenger at Arsenal

Rodgers’ comments came after Celtic shareholder Dermot Desmond had suggested the club would not stand in his way if Arsenal came calling.

"I'm glad he's the favourite," he said.

"He's an outstanding person. We wouldn't want him to leave but we won't force him to stay.

"Hopefully his love for the club and the set-up here will induce him to stay.

"I don't think you can put handcuffs on anybody if they want to go to a club as good as Arsenal. It will be Brendan's decision and his decision only."
